[spoiler=Spoiler]Batman used to batarang that managed to pin the Pikachu's tail to the ground. The poor Pokémon tried to run, but to know avail.

 

"As a prosecutor, I can have you imprisoned for animal cruelty," Edgeworth said.

 

 

Batman pointed at Edgeworth as he shouted.

 

"That's the second time this week someone's stolen that line," Edgeworth lamented. Without a second thought, he grabbed Batman's outstretched arm and bent it in ways no one would think was humanly possible.

 

 

Solasiro leapt from his chariot and took the two spears. He crossed them over and drove them through Kefka's heart.

 

"Know this, Kefka," Solasiro said. "I am a Dark Signer l'Cie. That is who you worked for. Your path to godhood ends here."

 

"You...," Kefka muttered as blood escaped from his mouth. "I refuse to die to the likes of you, especially when there's so much left to destroy."

 

"You don't get it, do you? I never intended to let you destroy everything like you wanted. Gagagigo defeated you fairly, and you continued to manipulate others. I suppose I could say that you have overstayed your welcome, but then that would mean you were welcome at all. Farewell, Kefka Palazzo. I will at least give you the honor of dying to someone who remembers your name."

 

Kefka began to disintegrate as his body began to glow purple until he was completely absorbed by Lobo. Solasiro returned to the seat on the chariot and held out the spears.

 

"Lobo! Fenrir! The end of this Focus is near! Let us become one and prepare for the final act!"

 

 

Edgeworth turned away from the crippled Batman and the helpless Pikachu and watched as Solasiro rose from his chariot, impaling himself with each of his spears as the Earthbound Immortal began to crumble to dust. A pitch-black tornado surrounded them all, and Batman and Pikachu evaporated like so many had already. Edgeworth say Roxas standing still, apparently oblivious of what was going on. He caught of glimpse of Mario jumping from the ground, attempting to attack Solasiro.

 

"What are you doing, you crazy Italian plumber?" Edgeworth asked. "Are you trying to get yourself killed." He turned to see Temari was beginning to fade as well.

 

"Not again," Temari muttered. "I'm not going to die a second time like this." Edgeworth held a hand out, but she evaporated as well.

 

 

"Squirtle!" a voice rang out. "Use your Water Gun!"

 

Edgeworth turned to see that the voice belonged to none other than Sherlock Holmes, who was accompanied by a little blue turtle. "Great Scott!" the prosecutor said. "Sherlock Holmes? What are you doing here?"

 

"Irrelevant," Holmes answered. "Miles Edgeworth, I presume? I trust you received my invitation."

 

"Yes, but that's not important now, we-"

 

"Save your breath. Clearly this is a side-effect of the many drugs I have been taking. Strange, I've never had a vision this bizarre before."

 

Squirtle, in spite of not being Sherlock's Pokémon, followed his earlier command and fired a huge spray of water at Solasiro. Unsurprisingly, the water merely rebounded off of the black winds.

 

"It's useless!" Solasiro cried out. "This must be settled the old-fashioned way!"

 

Edgeworth, Sherlock, Roxas, Squirtle, and Mario all found themselves enveloped in the tornado. Their vision went black, but they could hear rubble tearing. Their bodies were thrown around, and the could feel the air blow past them as stone and steel flew past them.

 

"Castlevania will be torn to ruin!" Solasiro continued. "Lezard, Dracula. If you can hear me, I insist that you leave immediately. You will be dealt with later."

 

 

 

Roxas woke up, only to find that he was a crystalline surface. The floor gleamed with a green color, and there was a raised pillar at each corner of the diamond-shape platform he was currently situated on. He saw Mario and Squirtle laying on the floor away from him, and soon they began to come to.

 

"Are you guys alright?" Roxas asked. The two responded with nods. "Where... where are we?"

 

"This is the final stage," Solasiro's voice rang in their ears. "To the outside world, Castlevania has disappeared. In reality, I have transported us to a pocket dimension separate from the universe you know. Defeat your opponents, and you will face me. Succeed, and you will return home and be crowned champion of this conflict."

 

"I won't fight!" Roxas shot back.

 

"I am afraid you have no choice in the matter. Your friend chose you to survive, and allowed himself and your other friends to be sacrificed. Do not tell me you intend to make their sacrifice all for naught?"

 

Roxas clenched his fists. "Alright, I'll fight! But you have to promise me that if I beat you, you have to bring back everyone you killed and set everything right!"

 

Solasiro chuckled. "Those are your terms? Very well then. Roxas, was it not? I shall remember that name. Do what you can to live up to your friend's expectations."

 

Mario and Squirtle stood up ready to fight, but share uncertain glances.

 

"I'm sorry, guys," Roxas said. "I don't think there's any other way around this. Let's make a promise, though. No matter who wins, we're still going to make sure that Solasiro guy gets what's coming to him!"

 

He held a fist out, and so did Squirtle and Mario. Bumping their fists together, the three of them jumped back. Squirtle held his chest up high, Mario gathered two fireballs in his hands, and Roxas called forth his Keyblade.

[Yang Xiao-Long]

Roxas has keyblades.

Mario has fireballs.

Squirtle has...not evolved yet.

 

I vote for Roxas. He may be a Nobody, but that makes him a Somebody.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Mario's got this, come on man.

[Ice.]

Squirtle is a turtle, so he's screwed.

 

Roxas would put up a fight, but since Mario pretty much dominated people that are stronger than him, I'm going for Mario.

 

Mario, good luck.

[Twig]

Well, I'm happy Squirtle got this far. =D

 

@Ice: What's that supposed to mean? D=

[Ice.]

Well, I'm happy Squirtle got this far. =D

 

@Ice: What's that supposed to mean? D=

 

TWIGGY CHILL.

 

Mario kills Turtles.

 

Simple as that.

[The Amazing Avian]

Roxas. Not the mod, but hes pretty cool too.

[Cloister]

Mario, of course.

[Dementuo]

Roxas pwns. He GMV.

[---------------]

Roxas no doubt.

[Phantom Roxas]

Can people who voted for Squirtle or Roxas resubmit votes, please? Mario and Squirtle have one vote more than the poll results say, so Roxas and Mario are actually tied, but the inconsistency could lead to confusion.

[Weather Report - Stand]

Mario is a fat guy who saves the princess.

Roxas is a guy from a game series I've never played.

Squirtle is a turtle who squirts. It just makes sense.

[Skyfi]

Roxas over Mario? Yeah Roxas wins.

[Phantom Roxas]

Wow, first time a revived character has been doing this well. The final battle should be interesting.

[Catterjune]

Mario.

 

Everything after Kingdom Hearts 1 is terrible.

[Lonk]

Oh goody! A contest with video game characters that have appeared in at least 3 rpg games. Because of that, I will list the positives of their rpgs:

 

Roxas:

 

+Action-Adventure RPGs are unique with the way KH set it

+Has many different features

+Has many cameos from FF series

 

Squirtle:

 

+450+ different kinds of pokemon

+Revolutionized turn-based rpgs

+Many different fun activities

 

Mario:

 

+Had an rpg before any of the other competitors (SMRPG 1996), and it showed Mario is amazing in rpgs

+Pioneered timing attacks

+The rpgs (except for Paper Mario) all had a unique plot than the routine "Bowser kidnaps Peach and Mario needs to defeat him and save the day".

+Unforgettable list of characters

+Because of Miyamoto, they are of a combination of platforming and rpg, which is still an amazing combination.

+After SMRPG, there are 2 different mario rpg franchises, all amazing

+They were made by Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime approves

 

The pluses all indicate Mario should win.

[Phantom Roxas]

Because, as you know, it is fair to determine whether or not a character should win based on what they're from. So if I nominate a good character from a bad franchise, they deserve to lose because while the character is good, that is irrelevant because what they are from sucked? Or perhaps a terrible character deserves to win just because you like what they're from?

 

• Super Mario RPG was developed by Square. As you may know, Square happens to also do Kingdom Hearts. Just because something came first doesn't mean it deserves to win, unless the reasoning is "As it was the first one to do it, it laid the foundation for the genre." Except Square already made Final Fantasy VI by the time Super Mario RPG came around. Not to mention that the original Pokémon games came out a month before SMRPG.

• Final Fantasy games began to have unique plots before SMRPG, particularly Final Fantasy IV, which came out in 1991.

• Kingdom Hearts and even Pokémon have unforgettable casts of characters.

• You don't seem to know much about Pokémon. By now it's obvious that there's at least 600 Pokémon (It a simple difference, so there's no excuse why you didn't say that), and I wouldn't say Pokémon revolutionized turn-based RPGs, because once again, that was Final Fantasy. Of course, I didn't get into either franchises until a few years ago.
